Is there a way to use variables in functions like FileExists()? For
example, this does not seem to work:
control:
jdk150_home = ( "/usr/local/java/jdk1.5.0_02" )
classes:
have_jdk150 = ( FileExists("$(jdk150_home)") )
I would like to avoid duplicating the pathname string, and will be
using this variable elsewhere as well. Is there another way I should
approach this?
Thanks,
Viraj.
